Thomas to the following: Peter Johnson Of
Wichita, and Cora Black of Harvey county;
E. Simpson and Belle Hamilton, both Of
Sedgwick county. The latter couple were at

judge.
The Hutchinson News says that o. II.
Bently submitted a proposition to Reno
county to build the Midland through Hutch
inson, and that the petitions were submitted
and signed up within twenty-four hours,
when the commissioners called the election.
Those same commissioners refused the south
ern tier of townships of that county rail-
road because the road would indirectly bene-
fit Wichita. Wichita men now turn about
to help Hutchinson. This is the record and
the text from which the EAGLE will preach
a lively sermon at the proper time.

Every season there are numbers of people
to be found declaring that Wichita is one of
the dirtiest cities in the west The truth is
that kind of talk is heard in every city, sew
cred and unsewered Wichita is fourteen
hundred feet above sea level, with plenty of
lively winds which seldom sleep, and open
sunshine without stint, and it would be al
most impossible to render the place sickly.
Topeka people are complaining in the same
strain, and here is one from Omaha, that
place being one of the best severed cities in
the west. The Republican says that should
'the showers Of last evening be followed by
sunshine this morning, blind man can
trace out the alleys Of the city-by the
''sense Of smell This paragraph is intended
''as gentle hint to the board of health, if
''there is such an organization in Omaha"

WIDOWS, PENSIONS.

Important Changes and Notifications Sug-
eested by Ex-senator Van yvyck.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June l9.-Ex- Senator Van
Wyck has addressed a letter to the Secretary of
the Interior and the Board of Pension Appeals,
urging very important change in the adjudi-
cation of q certain class Of pension claims He
says:
''As to the question when a widows pension
should commence, allow me suggestion.
The practice of the department. has been that
>the pensi on commences from the date of fling
her application. There may be some reason for
that ruli ng where the husband never obtained q
pension in his lifetime, and the allowance of the
pension was alone on the widows application.
But when the pension was allowed and COM
menced in the lifetime of the husband, pay
ment to the widow or minor children
was only continuation of the same pension,
and there Is no reason or justice why the pension
should cease to act or payment be refused be-
cause the widow children neglected make
formal apple cation. The faith of the govern
ment is pledged to the soldier that if he dies
from the disabilities contracted in or incident to
the service his widow and minor children shall
be provided for, and that faith should not be
broken, even if. through ignorance neglect,
formal application is not at once made. 1t is
alleged this construction may take millions out
of the treasury. This has been the stereotyped
argument against the allowance payment Of
pensions 1t can have no force when the ingenu-
ity of statesmen is exercised devise plan to
take money from the treasury whether to pay
bonus on sugar. to squander millions on plants
and materials for guns; millions for a rate OF
speed in war ships which they know can never
be attained; millions for bridging rivers and
harbors; yet when the question of pensions is
raised, either in Congress or the departments. q
certain class become very economical and full OF
political philosophy. That economy is wisest
which is based on justice. Even error Of
judgment will be forgiven by the people If it
lean to the side of equity, but / submit that
fair legal construction will continue the pension
from the date of the husbands decease, where
death was from the cause for which the pension
was given"
